It’s an Internet archive of automotive service manuals for just about everything that’s at least ten years old. Because at that point auto manufacturers expect you to junk the old one and buy a new one. So they don’t give a hoot about this website.

Enjoy!

Hey guys quick question do you know where to find the MAP sensor or barometric pressure sensor on the 1996 Saturn sc2 coupe?? It's throwing this code n while it doesn't feel like its affecting anything I'd like to know where they are located so I can change them before it becomes worse

Looking for a "different" saturn, recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I've got an 04 manual Ion and its a fun little car but I've kinda fallen out of love with it and want something "sportier" but still a saturn. Is my only real option in that regard an SC1/2 or is there another option out there? I'd love a sky but thats wayyyy out of my price range.

I'm sure packaging reasons but everything on the my sl1 is on the fire wall; but probably better design for fire safety if by the fire wall, versus my fiesta its on the its near the radar side

I think I might have bad injectors giving it won't start and these are the spark plugs

And I found a wet one well wetter than the other ones sorry if the photo is bad that's the best angle that I can get on it and that's the bad suspected one but I think there are probably all bad

I wish you all good luck with your saturn's. The journey with my old manual 2000 SL2 wasn't the greatest and I'm sure 'Big Bertha' would say the same to me. I will miss her and the joy rides we had listening to my 'All of Me CD - Masayoshi Takanaka.' Those joy rides were mutual fun. After the journey I have good memories to look back on, and that's what matters!

I keep receiving the wrong sensor! I literally ordered 6 of these sensors from different companies and they always and I mean ALWAYS have the black one for photos and they keep sending me the white one. The difference is the adapters, they literally don’t match. I don’t know anymore can someone please help me find this black sensor, because every time I buy one and the description is literally the black sensor, they always end up sending me the white one. I am so irritated.

Low mile 2004 L200

My elderly neighbor offered me her 2004 L200 sedan with only 43k miles. She bought it new but is no longer driving. I actually drove many SL series back in the day but never owned an L. The V6 starts and runs well, AC works, original stereo works fine, in fact, I couldn’t find anything amiss. Brake rotors and pads were replaced about two years ago along with tires. I don’t see any leaks from the engine or transmission and, despite being in Michigan, I see little more than a tiny bit of surface rust on some undercarriage areas. KBB says this is fairly worthless. Any thoughts on the value?

I honestly don’t see many rust free low mile cars for sale anymore for less than $4-5k and this one is a sweetheart.

She ain’t perfect, still needs a few maintenance things, only things “wrong” with the car is a missing passenger window trim, small crack in the front bumper, and the trunk leaks a bit. Tranny shifts buttery smooth, no timing chain noise, frame has 0 rust, i genuinely don’t know how it has 200k on it.

Has anyone ever seen an S-series prop in a TV show that *didn't* have some unique modification?

5 Upvotes

There's a blacklist episode, the one where Ray gets poisoned at the beginning of the Mr Kaplan arc, where he steals a green 96 SW2 and drives it around most of the episode and the rear wheel hubs look like 96 SW2 alloy wheels but there's 5 lugs. All S-series have a unique 4 lug pattern wheels, although I have heard it's possible the rear hubs are semi exchangeable with one of the little Chevy sedans from that period, or maybe it was the alero I'm thinking of. Still, that episode was from like 2017 if I'm remembering right, long before I saw someone suggest the 5 bolt knuckle swap mod (which is far more involved in the front, probably why the one on the show only had it in the back).

Rewatching the original CSI, which is from 1999 so quite a few brief views of S cars but in a S3 episode, a guy runs another guy's dog over in his gen 3 SL2 and gets himself shot by his own .50 caliber hand cannon in retaliation. They actually portrayed the S-series hibeams correctly, which I've never seen the others do, but the car was gold with black handles. As far as I know, the DOHC equipped cars always had paint matched door handles and bumpers, even if they cheaped out and got the iron wheels.

Now that I think of it I'm not 100% sure Ray's stolen SW2 has alloy wheels, which if you didn't know wasn't as simple as it sounds. Steel wheels were one of the few factory options like ABS and came a slightly different front CV axle assembly. Perhaps it would be better to ask if anyone knows exactly what options were available and when could they be specified?

Isn't it also true that the DOHCs always had 15" tires and SOHCs 14", even though the modules should be theoretically be able to be reprogrammed for different tire sizes or speed classes?
